Most likely a Tangarine Quartz variety. Can be from an orange/yellow through to rust orange colour & widely used for a healing stone (which the pendant looks similar too).

Found these gemstones while panning in a creek near Yass NSW. I'm new to this so dont really know what they are are but I'm suspecting garnet. They are relatively dense and collect in the bottom of the pan. Unsure what the crystal with the yellow hue is the first pic. Seems more dense than quartz.

This is a diamond, note the crystalline shape.
I have these in my greasy little palm but are they diamonds?
No, unfortunately they are Octa hedral magnetite so interesting enough but not quite as valuable
Just put them in the high temp pressure oven for a bit longer Phil.View attachment 14334

A piece of citrine (?) I picked up from a gravel bank while fossicking at Reedy.
My first proper sapphires. All very small though. From Victoria. Also got a possibly cuttable zircon
